I am a specialist in the family Costaceae. I have been studying these plants in neo tropical forests for 14 years and have completed 20 IUCN Red List assessments for Costus species. I am currently working with Paul Maas and Chelsea Specht on a revision to the monograph on new world Costus. My primary interest is visiting the type localities of little known species that were collected by early plant explorers.
